Assassin's Creed Odyssey (tl;dr review)

Image
Pros: + Engaging storyline + Your choices matter + Combat works + Many fun challenges and side quests + Beautiful Graphics Cons: - Story didn't end when it should've - Finding and killing every single cultist becomes a chore because a few were pretty hard to find - Side quests are not optional if you want to complete the story - Equipment with varying rarity have similar appearances Graphics: 9/10 Gameplay 8/10 Overall: 8/10 I haven't played a game for so many hours in quite some time now, so I was kinda shocked when I put in as many hours in Assassin's Creed Odyssey as I did. Overall, the game is a very solid one, not without its downsides but still managing to hold my interest right till the end. Read the full review here

Go on an odyssey, an Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Review)

Image
Environment Assassin's Creed Odyssey is set in ancient Greece, where there are so many islands, and so many statues and temples. Honestly, aesthetically, the whole map is incredibly beautiful and scenic, but at some point in time, I just stopped being able to appreciate the beauty of it, it all became just like noise to me, except for the places significantly different locations, such as the slums on the outskirts of Athens, one of those marble mine or perhaps the Colosseum, other than that, as beautiful as the other places in the game are, they have not managed to capture my attention much. Maybe it's because I've played the game for too long, or maybe it's because, structurally, most of the cities use the same, or at least extremely similar looking building design, the streets look similar, the temples which you synchronize the locations look similar.  Although I do understand it's because the game is trying to look realistic, but still, I feel as if the...

DMC 5 (tl;dr review)

Pros +Incredible combat +Beautiful graphics +Great characters (Dante and V) Cons - Story was mediocre, especially the ending - Platforming (it's not fun) Graphics: 9/10 Gameplay: 9/10 Overall: 9/10 Story aside, this is still one of the best games I've played so far.

DMC is still stylish as ever in DMC 5! (Review)

Image
Environment The game is set in London, a London that's ravaged by demons, despite that, the maps still managed to draw my attention from time to time, the city that's completely unrecognizable in places where demonic goo, tentacles and roots, the places do look marvelous and menacing at the same time, truly a fitting map for DMC 5  Gameplay The gameplay is going to be separated into 3 parts, the parts that you play as the 3 main characters of the game, Nero, Dante and V, they all have very distinctive playstyles which may affect your experience in the game.  First let's look at Nero , the first one you get to use, DMC 5 changed Nero to have a slightly more varied playstyle, by equipping him with a plethora of different "Devil Breakers" since his loss of his original demonic arm, the "Devil Bringer". While I do agree that the Devil Breakers are a breath of fresh are for Nero's rather monotonic gameplay back in DMC 4, I do ...

Ryse: Son of Rome (tl;dr review)

Image
Pros +Great graphics +Extremely satisfying combat  +Easy to play and master Cons -Linear gameplay -Very short playtime  -Lacks enemy variety  -Story not very engaging Graphics: 8/10 Gameplay: 7/10 Overall: 7/10 A short and simple hack & slash game, if you’re looking for great variety and content, this game is not gonna be the one, but if you just want to indulge in mindless combat and executions, this game is absolutely a good one to pick up.

Ryse: Son of Rome, Play as a Roman Soldier! (Review)

Image
Ryse: Son of Rome, Play as a Roman Soldier!   Ryse: Son of Rome is a hack & slash game where you play as a Roman soldier, it is pretty story-focused and linear, but the story could be quite confusing as it is told, and there really isn’t much that will stick as the story goes. So, it is actually a pretty bare bones game, not gonna be worth It at the full price, but at its current price, it is definitely worth a buy. Environment The game is very linear, so there’s actually not many places you can go to in-game, but the places that do get to walk around in looks very nice, especially right at the very start, where you are put into a crazy warzone. It just looks so overwhelmingly nice, and the parts where you run around a city killing people, yeah, the game looks very nice, it is one of its main selling points. Gameplay The gameplay itself is centered on hacking and slashing, there is little to no exploration in-game, or anything else, other than the combat, but ...
